A Menace to Sociei,

Rev. DR.. Darby, who was called up
on recently to preach the funeral SER
mon of woman at Evansville, Ind,
who had been murdered by q man
crazed with liquor, spoke in very
strong and courageous terms of the
saloon evil to the crowd who had been
drawn to the house by curiosity.
Among other things he said: go up
and down these streets and read the
word Saloon saloon till it is re-
peated nearly two hundred times, and
you will arrive at the source whence
this stream of evil proceeds that bears
destruction every where in its course.
* The saloon is perpetual
menace to society. Here is a home
they have helped to ruin. not in en-
tionally, but still it has been done.
Whose wife, whose husband, whose
child will be the next victim of their
debauchery and death in this COM
munity? There IS not an habitual
drunkard, not a drinking man, not q
vile character in all the city who may
not procure from almost any saloon
all the liquor he may desire at mid
night, or Sunday, or any other time.
This being true, whose home. whose
wife, whose child is safe? The blood
of this innocent woman not only APP
peals to Heaven for justice to be visit
ed upon the murderer, but it appeals
also for the protection Of our homes
against the vile stuff that maddened
the murderer's brain. >,

Sights Seen in Japan.

The babies are strapped to the backs
of their mothers and sisters, scarcely
larger than themselves. One often
sees dozen or two boys and girls
under ten at all sorts of play, one-half
of them having babies on their backs,
oftentimes when the, little nurses are
playing regular romps, the little ones
sound asleep, their heads hanging
down and Topping from side to side
as if their little necks would break.
Here in front of this hotel, when the
tide was out, saw hundreds early one
morning seeking mussels, MOSES and
seaweed. Little fellows not over ten
wading about gathering shellfish, with
babies fastened to them. When they
would stoop on hands and knees the
baby would almost stand on its head.
| can say have seen hundreds of those
and have as yet heard hut three babies
crying. Little ones OF two and three
sometimes have dolls strapped to them,
Not once have / seen doll in the
arms. Carter Il. Harrison, IN Chicago

WOMEN IN MOURNING,
Fashion That Is Carried to Ridiculous
Excess in This Country,

Fashion That Is Carried to Ridiculous
Excess in This Country.
In driving or walking through the
streets an attentive observer can not
fail to be impressed by multitudes OF
feminine figures dressed in mourning.
Emblems of woe are to be met on
every side, some graceful forms, in
deed, being so completely swathed in
clinging black draperies and impene-
trable walls that they resemble shadows
from the inferno. Certainly no fashion
is carried to q more ridiculous excess
than the wearing of mourning, and for
many women there seems to be an
especial and unconquerable attraction
about Grape and dead jet. They like
to wear mourning, just as they in
variably exhibit predictions for mill
tary uniforms and bargains. The
phenomenon might be moderately
reasonable if black clothes were always
becoming to the wearer. But they are
not, and the women whose coloring
and complexion are least suited to
Henrietta cloth and nuns vaiGng are
generally the ones who wear mourning
longer than any one else. When a
death occurs in family the dress
maker is instantly summoned and
every thing that ingenuity can devise
in the way of hideous and mournful
raiment is instantly ordered and worn
indefinitely. In Europe the custom is
different and much more sensible. Six
months is considered sufficiently
long period for anybody to wear deep
mourning, and deep mourning abroad
means simply any thing black. A
widow in the first days of her grief
will wear a costume of glistening
black silk covered with brilliant cut
jet. And pray, why should she notp
How much more elegant and suitable,
MOTTO say sensible, is gown like this
instead of the dense somberness of our
own mourning costumes that are
enough to afflict every one with chronic
blue devils? I1fs this country people
are beginning to show more common
sense than heretofore about the length
of time mourning should be worn, but
there is still much to be desired in the
character of the dress itself These
inky phantoms that parade our streets
are neither cheerful nor edifying
spectacles. Clara Lama, in BrooEgun
Times.

the lion country, but the movements
were too heavy for the king of beasts.
The noise passed clear around the
camp and back, and then all was quiet.
We were under arms for half an hour,
and then, all being still, we lay down,
and all but the sentinel were soon
asleep. An hour later, as suddenly as
if shot from the gun, the old solitary
OF the day charged into our camp,
trumpeting like the blasts from a loco
motive, and evidently in a great rage.
1t was he who had been lurking about
for two or three hours. He had APP
preached the camp as carefully as a
man could walk, and had passed around
it to locate every thing and decide on
a point to charge from. When we got
the alarm, he placed himself in the
shadow of some bushes, and the
natives, who examined the spot, said
he stood there for an hour and half
without moving q foot.
Bloody and destructive work fol-
lowed the charge of the elephant He
stepped on and crushed a sleeping
native, picked a second up and dashed
him to the earth a corpse, and broke
the back of a third who was trying TO
get out of his way. He was soon
among the bullocks, knocking them
right and left with his terrible blows,
and just then | got my gun ready. His
charge had been so sudden and fierce
that we were all demoralized for two
or three minutes. Fortunately for us
all, someone had the sense to throw
some light brush on one of the dying
fires and started big blaze. This
seemed to discomfort the elephant, and
he showed signs of retreating. In this
he was encouraged by two of our bull
locks, who dashed at him for fight,
and raked him severely with their
stout horns. | was dancing about
waiting to get shot, and I'll tell you
what | saw that elephant do. He
picked up bullock weighing at least
nine hundred pounds, and that with
his trunk alone, and swung him aloft
as easily as you can lift an axe over
your head. He held him in the air
minute, and then flung him clean over
our Cape Colony wagon to the ground.
The bullock alighted on a large heap
of freshly-cut grass, and was but little
injured. | opened on the elephant
just as he flung the bullock, and he at
once bolted out of camp, carrying
three bullets with him. He had
scarcely got clear when he stepped
into a hole in the ground, lurched for
ward, and went down with broken
leg. Before he could get on his feet
again | had given him his death blow.
He had killed three men and four bull
locks, and wounded one man and two
bullocks, and his death gave us deep
satisfaction N Y. SIN.

PULASKPS BANNER.
One of the Most Valuable Historical Relics
Existing in Our Country.

Existing in Our Country.
1t is not widely known that this BAN
ner, celebrated in Longfellow's lines,
is still carefully preserved rs a
cherished relic of the American revolu-
ton. Count Pulaski was appointed q
Brigadier in the army in 1777, after the
battle of Brandywine. He obtained
special permission to raise and COM
mand an independent corps to consist
of sixty-eight horse and two hundred
foot. There are several traditions re-
specting this banner. One says that
Pulaski visited Lafayette, distinguished
in French and American history, while
wounded, and received the care and
hospitality of the Moravian sisters at
Bethlehem, in Pennsylvania. When it
became known to them that he was or
ganizing corps of cavalry, they pre-
pared a banner of crimson silk, with
designs beautifully worked with needles
by their own hands, and sent it to
Pulaski with their blessing. Pulaski
received it gratefully, and bore
it gallantly until his death in
battle at Savannah in 1879.
His banner was saved by his senior
Lieutenant, who received fourteen
wounds. 1t was carried in the pro-
cession which welcomed Lafayette to
Baltimore in 1924 In 1914 it was pre-
scented to the Maryland Historical So
ciety, by whom it is now carefully pre-
served. But little of its beauty re-
mains. 1t is composed of double silk,
now faded to a dull brownish red The
designs on each side are worked with
yellow silk, the letters shaded with
green, and deep bullion fringe orna-
ments the edge. The size is twenty
inches square, one fact among many
that would lead us to think Longfellow
could not have known all the facts
when he composed his popular poem.
On one side are the letters Z. S., and
in a circle round them "Unitas Virtus
Forcior" (Union makes stronger; on
the other, in the center, is the all
seeing eye, within circle of thirteen
stars, and outside the stars are the
words mon Alius Regit" (No Other
Governs) Casselps Family Magazine.

Pure Wines and Cider.

A pet theory of those who are I'M
willing to accept total abstinence as
the truest Temperance, in the line of
liquor drinking, is that pure wines and
elders are comparatively harmless. in
contrast with adulterated liquors. Yet
there is TO form of drunkenness which
has more of brutality in it than that
which is q result of cider-drinking;
and from the days of Noah to the pres
ent day, man who has been made
drunken by homemade wine is likely
to be as disgracefully drunken as if it
were strychnine whisky which had
brought him down. Only a few days
ago silk-weaver in Hebron, Conn,
murdered his wife and two children,
and then set fire to the house. He was
Swiss immigrant, and believed in
homemade liquors. The telegraph
report reads: HE had half a dozen
barrels of homemade wine and cider
in his cellar, and drinking from these
made him crazy, and promoted the
murder" If the blood stained ashes
of his household show the sort of home
made by homemade wine and cider,
total abstinence from these liquors
would seem to be the truest Temper
ance.-S. S. Times.
